>>HUMAN RIGHTS, INDIVIDUALISM & GLOBALIZATION

How about...
We're Lucky to Still Be Alive: The Implications of Globalism in the Context of 2.75 Billion New Capitalists Who Want to Squander as Many Resources as You Have Squandered Since Led Zepplin Stopped Recording
Abstract: Face it, life as we knew it is over forever. You had a good life, sure, and it was fun to be a hippie wasn't it? Now, however, billions of other people want to have that very same life. Problem is, things are bad enough already. We've almost (if not yet) destroyed the future of our culture; if these 2.75 billion new guys get in on the act, not only our culture is history, but so also is our species. The moral argument is essentially that these guys are human too, and thus have the same rights, so if the species is committing mass suicide, these other ethnic and cultural groups should also have a chance to pull the trigger. Might as well let 'em have nukes as long as we're at it. That way, Western Civilization won't be to blame. Everyone will have a hand in destroying the ecosphere and thousands of years of technical progress. Just as in pre-industrial times, we will all have equality in death.
